This is the result of a few quick experiments with rotators. This swing-wing fighter is lightning fast, reaching speeds of over 1000mph at sea level, but carries a reduced payload as the nature of the wing design prevents me from adding on structural hardpoints. Nevertheless, the Sweeper excels at its interceptor role, managing to maintain its manoueverbility at high speeds. Suitible for a carrier take-off, not so suitable for a carrier landing though.
